One Block Wonder is the name given to her quilts by Maxine Rosenthal, and the blocks are placed side by side, filling all spaces. One Block Wonder quilts have a more kaleidoscopic look to them. If you Google both kinds, you should be able to see examples that will give you a good idea of the minor differences.

    Thank you for stepping in to answer this question. I didn't really have an answer to it. I think of the Stack-N-Whack as a different layout entirely. I can see where the name fits this block too though. Will have to do some more research on the both.

    Thank you all for your compliments. I can't wait to start shopping for my fabric to make another one. It was really fun!

    I would quilt a simple meander on this. Let your design shine, not the quilting. It will be fabulous.
